THX Ltd. has released its first mobile application called THX tune-up.

It’s specifically meant for consumers to get the best out of their entertainment systems, irrespective of the price and brand.

The announcement couldn’t have come better time, with the Super Bowl only a few days away.

The description at the App Store suggests the app features custom video test patterns, and variety of tutorials to help the consumers select the best picture settings based on the lightning of the room. THX tune-app also checks the external speakers and makes sure they’re connected properly with the sound system.
